MIkes spritsail skiff

[Dennis M]

MIke, I did not want to steal the thunder from the other thread, but wanted to congratulate you on a job well done on your skiff. I love the looks of that boat. Did you build from an existing design, and when you say a cross between a sharpie and skipjack, did you make the modifications on your own or simply copy an already existing type. What about LOA, Beam, and sail area dimensions, can you share the goods? Can you also speak to the sailing performance of such craft? Are they good for singlehanding or no? What about rough water capability?

Sweet, MIke. Thanks for taking the trouble to share your progress.

Do I see a bit of a powderhorn sheer- right under the cat ? And is that the interior of the Maritime Museum at Beufort NC?
